http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012/07/111-dogs-cant-vote-virginia-photos***SNIP
Just take the latest installment in the epic, dystopian Dogs Are Voting saga: To hear Matt Drudge and Mitt Romney's campaign tell it, dogsleftist dogsare registering to vote in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
And it's the Democratic Party's wily foot soldiers who are aiding and abetting.
On Wednesday, Team Romney sent a warning to state officials that the Voter Participation Center's liberal vassals were mailing out registration forms to addresses "pre-populated with names and/or information belonging to the recipients' dead relatives," convicted felons, and pet cats and dogs. The campaign's general counsel claimed that such schemes "amount to, or at the very least induce, voter registration fraud," and demanded swift and immediate action.
And thus it will be the ballot-booth-savvy dogs who will swing Virginia to the left in the next election, thus clearing the path for Democrats to jam through a constitutional amendments requiring you to eat nothing but tofu and parsnip on Mondays.
But rest assured: Despite what some die-hard conservatives would have you believe, dogs still won't be able to vote in Virginia. Here are some of them:
